A man walked down an icy sidewalk with his face hidden under a cloak. On the occasion, he would look out from under it and whom ever he looked at, got an icy chill sent down their backs. His eyes were blue and his face was fair, under no circumstances was he welcome near the townsfolk. He had been gone for a long time, now when he finally came back with more power than ever, everyone wanted him gone. Only one girl didn't know he was here, he swore to himself that he would do everything he could to make her know he was around once again.
His stare wasn't pleasent, and no one wanted it to be on him, not knowing this, he thought they were avoiding him because of his powers. It's true, everyone had chakra, but his was abnormal. Nothing was normal about him, and everything he did was in a dark ally. He wasn't an outcast, it was just that everyone was afraid of him.
He sat on a cold bench and and thought to himself, his eyes were pointed at the ground to avoid anyone smirking at his stare and angering him to any point.
" She's probably forgotten you," the voice in his head told him, " go home, go where you belong.'
He ignored the comment from his mind. There was no way that she had forgotten him, not in this short time. There was just no way.
" You saw her face when she watched you leave," it began once again, " she was terrified. And the worst part is, it was all your fault!"
He stood up angered, all the while, a woman passed by him. He looked at her hair, put up in a bun. He never saw a girl other than Ino who had put her hair in a bun. ( A/N by now you should of guessed who he is.)
He slowely followed her in a distance that wouldn't make her suspicious. He lifted the cloak a small bit, making sure she didn't see him.
" Why are you following her?"
He ignored the voice once again and pulled the cloak down as she stopped and turned.
" Excuse me, but do you need something?"
He said nothing, only listened in case she had anything else to say, he didn't want her to think he was a stalker, he only wanted to see if his suspicions were correct.
" Hello? Are you listening to me?"
He finally said something for the first time in five years.
" Your name."
" Pardon?"
He looked up just enough to see her, " Your name, it's-"
" Sakura. Why?"
He smiled under the shadow of his cover. He knew that she was still around, only she didn't know it was him.
" And you are?"
He turned and began to walk away.
" Excuse me, i'm talking to you-"
" It's not important."
He didn't sence her following him, but he did sence her walking away. It didn't matter, she was here and he got to talk to her. He turned to see if she was anywhere in sight before lifting the cloak and showing his face. His blonde hair blew in the wind as he looked in the trees. She was nowhere to be seen, and that was ok because, he got to have a conversation with the love of his life. Sakura. Sakura Haruno.
" You're here."
He spun around and saw a man that was long from his mind at that point.
" Naruto Uzumaki."
